The Emperor’s Angel of Death

"...All 831 members of the direct line of the Renteria family have been brought to justice, 4,498 members of the collateral line have also been brought to justice, and a total of 284,453 family servants and guards, excluding 8,352 people who died and were disabled during the operation Except for 9,420 people, the rest were all punished for the crime of assisting and failing to report with knowledge. All the about 2,000 tons of property in the family's private warehouse have been counted, except for some artworks, treasures, suspected alien creations and witchcraft-related items to be identified. In addition, the rest are included in the logistics and storage of the expeditionary force, the details of the case have been announced to various departments of the empire, and the Ministry of Justice is still continuing to handle this case."

After reading the report, Soshyan, who was sitting on the huge chair in the war room, nodded, put down the data pad, and looked at Talos.

"This operation was well done, clean and neat. Presumably those nobles already know that I am not as gentle as they thought."

Talos shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile:

"A saying that the Primarch used to say before, fear can make a beast into a real person."

"It can only be said to be partially reasonable. Occasionally fear will make people more orderly, but long-term fear will only make people crazier. Tightening and loosening is the way to control. The Queen's hive is now in a power vacuum period , I plan to reward the Renteria family's territory to future meritorious nobles, so that they will know that hard work will yield good results."

"You decide, anyway, the Ministry of Justice is still full of people arresting people."

In fact, the demise of the Renteria family does not mean the end of the matter. In order to be able to play a real deterrent effect, Soshyan signaled that the case of the Marshal of Justice should be dealt with vigorously and strictly. Members of the branches of the Ria family, including people and organizations that serve the family, and have business dealings with them, anyway, they will always have one of the crimes of cooperation, cover-up and non-reporting, and it is foreseeable that there will be one in the future Hundreds of thousands or even millions of people have been imprisoned because of this, but Soshyan must let everyone in the Sagan galaxy, whether they are nobles or civilians, know one thing-the empire will take all necessary means to win in wartime, even cruelty. Means, those who have a fluke mentality had better restrain themselves.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first, the judge is still waiting to see you."

"Well, I worked hard this time."

After Talos left, Soshyan pressed an electric bell on the table, and the door opened again ten seconds later. Marcus, wearing a black coat and a black brim hat, walked in with a smile on his face. The rosette swayed as he walked.

Soshyan immediately stood up from the chair and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, Inquisitor Marcus, I haven't seen you for many years, but I still look good."

"You too, Soshyan Chapter Commander, oh, now it's time to call you the Soshyan Supreme Lord Commander."

Marcus gently held the other's hand, and then sighed:

"In just thirty years, you have already achieved such an achievement, which is really remarkable."

"Haha, your reputation is too high, please sit down."

After sitting down, Marcus took off his hat and put it on the table.

"In this indifferent galaxy, the warmest thing is meeting old friends. To be honest, I was surprised and excited when I learned that you were appointed as the commander of the Maelstrom Expeditionary Force."

Soshyan nodded with a smile.

"I am also very pleased to be able to meet you here. The scene when we met in Valledore is still vivid in my memory."

"Alas, thirty years is but a moment to a Space Marine, but to a mortal it may be half a lifetime."

"It seems that you have experienced a lot, Judge Marcus."

"You have also experienced a lot, Captain Soshyan, I have heard about your deeds, so I am not very surprised that the high lords appointed you as the commander of the expeditionary force. No other Chapter Master in a generation."

"But this is still too heavy a responsibility for me."

"The Emperor has arrangements for everyone's fate, and your commitment to these means that your mission is greater than others."

Soshyan shook his head and changed the subject.

"This trial of the Renteria family is also thanks to you."

Strictly speaking, it is not easy to handle the whole case with the authority of the Ministry of Justice alone, but the appearance of Marcus completely changed the nature of the whole case. He publicly announced that the Renteria family had committed serious crimes. After the crime of heresy, the eucalyptus was directly nailed to death, and the nobles immediately lost any argument—the authority of the Inquisitorial Chamber was irresistible to any imperial institution.

Once the eucalyptus is determined, then what the Ministry of Justice does is justified. As for the massacre that occurred in the Renteria family, it becomes undisputed, because in the law of the empire, heresy no longer has any "personality." "Qualification, they are beasts and animals, and it is not excessive to kill them by any means.

"I should thank you, otherwise I would have to squat in that dungeon."

"Speaking of which, our battle group and you have a wonderful fate."

Marcus nodded and said meaningfully:

"Each servant of the emperor has his own way of serving. Perhaps in the dark, I need to cooperate with your group to better serve the emperor."

What he said was half a compliment, half an exclamation.

In fact, Marcus has not been smooth these years. Several actions he planned have ended in failure. For decades, he has not made great achievements or gained a great reputation. The reason is that he reflects on himself. In the past, some material conditions were insufficient.

Because of the special structure of the organization, there is basically no distinction between judges, but there is a huge gap in strength between them. The actions initiated by those great judges often have a high success rate, and judges who have just debuted or judges who do not have a great reputation Officials often die because of ordinary tasks. Where is the gap between the two?

Is it just determination and will?

Of course not, Marcus used to think so, but now he found that the real reason was—

Those Grand Inquisitors have numerous entourages, luxurious equipment, and powerful warships, and when encountering difficult enemies and difficulties, they can call on powerful helpers, such as the Astartes Chapter.

This is the reality, no matter how strong his will is, with only two or three followers~www.readwn.com~ when he is in trouble, he can only mobilize the guards around him, and it will not be a big deal.

Although in principle, the Inquisitors can call on neighboring space fighters to assist them, but whether they come or not is completely up to them. The Inquisitors cannot force a warband to do something. Heresy?

As for the legendary Gray Knights, to be honest, Marcus only knows that these people exist, but the way to contact these people is only in the hands of a few big judges and their apprentices. After all, if every judge can call the Gray Knights , the Gray Knights are more or less not enough. To put it bluntly, this is also a resource monopolized by a few people.

Therefore, smart judges often pay great attention to the relationship with the Astartes battle group, because the key is to determine whether useful rescuers can be called.

Will, determination, and martial arts determine the lower limit of an Inquisitor, while fame, wealth, and connections determine the upper limit of an Inquisitor.

Therefore, after reuniting with Soshyan, Marcus realized that this rising star of the empire might be an important help for him to embark on the road of the Grand Inquisitor in the future. gained a deep understanding.
